About Me

Florence Turnour is a mathematics professor, a mother of two, and a bead artist. In 2007, Florence and fellow mathematics education professor Gwen Fisher opened the business beAd Infinitum, through which they sell patterns and kits for beaded beads and other off-loom bead weaving. Since before she had children, Florence read, poured over and adored picture books. In 2014, the idea that she might contribute to this amazing literary form has crept into her mind. She is currently doing everything she can do to learn what's going on in the world of picture books, from what the authors and artists are talking about to how they accomplish the magic they create with their books. She loves sharing this new obsession with her kids, who never fail to have an opinion on all fronts.
